Do your guys buildings pile all the Monday work in the trucks on top of the Saturday work during peak?

I hate that sh**. I'm sure there's some kind of logic behind it but I don't know what it is. And how does local sort decipher what is pickups and what is Monday work when unnloading without carefully examining each piece? They basically have to take everything off and redo it anyways right?

I thinks it’s to save time and do less work by not having to reload everything on Monday. Problem is driver needs to put everything that wasn’t delivered back in the original spot the preloader left it in.

Damn. I was thinking I wouldn’t mind working a few Saturdays during peak (if the M-friend dispatches are on par with the previous 5 years) but after reading some of these posts I’m gonna have say HELL NO. Luckily my center hasn’t been forced in on Saturdays in the past and we still haven’t heard about it this year.

It’s all getting unloaded and reloaded trust me. You couldn’t even get the back door open because of all of the crap that was put on it for Monday.

This is so typical of dumb IE moves. You think you’re saving 30 minutes worth of work on the preload but you’re costing every driver tons of time sifting through the BS.

It should absolutely go in a retain trailer and be resorted on Monday. It’s the common sense move.

your preload is totally brain dead, tons of places do this successfully with zero issues

also this is a PDS decision, has nothing to do with IE

Peak Saturdays work pretty smoothly here. Deliver what you can, everything else doesn’t get a scan. We try to leave the unscanned pkgs where they go on the shelf so preload can load on top of it Monday morning.

Peak sat was fine last year. We delivered everything

You’ll find that’s the case with most management groups for this company

I did this last year and meticulously sorted all the businesses in the 1 2 3 shelves so I would have a good start to the day Monday. Local sort ripped everything out of the truck and preload put it all back in the wrong spot. After that I was a little les careful.

"Charged the bins" for us

At our PCM on Friday we were told our region didn’t make its goals on hiring seasonal drivers, helpers or Pvd’s. Let the dumpster fire begin!!

They got about 1/10 of the PVDs they had last year at my center.

We didn't hit any of our staffing goals above district levels

This week is going to be ed, worse than 2013 by far IMO

It's even better if you have a PVD route tethered to your truck. You have Saturday "mandatory" deliveries, stuff for Monday AND the PVD stuff buried in there too. I took 10 mins after the PCM and threw all the PVD crap in a pile in the back.

I've transcended such peasant labor

I don't mind putting my browns on at all, until it rains
I blend right into the saltiest mid seniority drivers of any center, shorts until it hits 32f

my wife though has other opinions on me going driving all day

 

[Coldworld]

I've yet to see the same Amazon driver twice. Every time i see one, it's a new person.

And they all seem to be in their early 20’s….

 

[scooby0048]

Yes every driver 6 days a week until the new year.

If it’s anything like last year all it does is make your Monday light as hell. Last year we had guys working 9-10 hour days at time and a half on Saturday then standing around for 4 hours on Monday to get their 8.

That's a bunch of S*. Since you are also in Central, did they pay this past Saturday at 1.5x? I think they screwed over one of our drivers who volunteered to work by not paying them for the holiday since they just made their 30 days two weeks ago. I'm waiting to see their timecard to make sure but I don't think the driver was given credit for Saturday being a 6th punch.

Yes. Saturday was time and a half. I made almost 3500 last week
